FYI, the burritos are HUGE! They have a lot more food offerings but I'm hooked on the breakfast burritos. They are open 6am to 2pm so get there early. I wish them continued success!

The açaí bowls are fresh, flavorful and beautifully made and the owner is truly one of the nicest people you'll meet! He's young, fun and genuinely cares about his customers and the quality of everything he serves. Yes! You will have to wait if you order while you're there or they have an app you can use to order ahead of time and have it ready to pickup. I've tried just about everything on the menu and I swear by the fresh juice shots if I even think I'm starting to get sick. The overnight oats are sooo good and filling!! Once you try this place you'll want to keep coming back!!

2nd update - The…read moreowner confronted me about this review. It's unfortunate when business owners can't take feedback though and I was honestly shocked that after waiting more than 30 minutes for an order I placed in advance that this guy went on the offensive to ask if I was happy to hurt small businesses. I told him I am not trying to hurt any businesses but reviews are only as good as they are honest. He told me that he's had people wait for an hour without complaining. Sir, WHY is anyone WAITING 60 minutes for smoothie bowls? He said it was because they had 8 orders. I suggested he hire another worker because that's way too long to wait for smoothies and bowls. Update - spoke to the worker who appears to be the owner who said they had a lot of DoorDash orders ahead of me. I saw two customers. Now I think it's better to order through DoorDash because this business seems to prioritize those orders rather than through their native app likely because DoorDash tracks the amount of time it takes for each order to complete and be ready for pickup. At this point I just wanted a refund but he said it was already nearly done so... ----- Açaí bowls and smoothie spots - they're so many that exist but so few that check all the boxes. Sadly, this is not one of them. The good: Fresh ingredients, diverse and healthy combinations for açaí bowls and smoothies The bad: Slowwwww. Even if you order on the app, they'll be behind by 20+ minutes from the stated time for pickup. Literally heard him tell two customers to order on the app next time but what's the point if it takes them 30+ min to complete an app order?. It's 3:56pm. The order was placed at 3:31pm. And as you can see in the photo, the order is still pending (not completed) and I'm sitting here waiting. The ugly: Service. Not sure why the workers are always disgruntled here. The first time it happened I figured it was a random occurrence although I didn't come back for a while. Now I'm pretty sure they don't care about customer service - which is fine for some people but for me, it's a bummer. All in all - order far in advance on DoorDash because the Bowlista app, which works well, doesn't actually seem like it's an app for ordering ahead. Tip after you get your order. Sip and enjoy.

Nothing screams picnic quite like an iced latte and panini pairing. I ordered the chicken pesto panini, apple chai kombucha, and a mushroom iced latte. This latte did loads for my social meter. Giving me the extra pep to talk all things books. The sandwich was stacked with thick pieces of avocado, jalapeños, and sliced chicken. A very filling meal that definitely caught everyone's eye. Would love to return and explore more of their food menu.

There's also some seating outside as well. We love Portuguese sausage and was glad they had that as a protein option. Staff was very helpful when we asked for suggestions.

We also got the Island coffee (coconut flavored) and Spanish coffee (condensed milk and cinnamon). Both drinks were amazing. We also really liked the Kim chee burrito. One bite and my husband and I wish we ordered 2. It went so well with the sour cream. The service was very fast as well. This is a must try if you are in the area!

This time, after joining Jamba Rewards, they sent me a coupon to redeem a $5 Small Watermelon Strawberry Smoothie so I took this as a chance to try them again I guess I wasn't aware that the Smoothie came in red, white, and blue in celebration of 4th of July so that was a great surprise, haha. At first when I tasted the "blue" flavor I didn't like it, BUT after mixing the flavor in with the "red" watermelon, OOHWEE it was mighty sweet and tasty!! 4.5/5 I really enjoyed this experience and this flavor and I really look forward to trying more NEW flavors as they come along!

I am and have been a BIG fan of Jamba Juice, particularly the Caribbean passion (with a…read moremultivitamin booster) but there are SO many different types of smoothies to get (google their hidden menu). I should note that the quality of the smoothie totally depends on who is making it because some employees make them with the perfect texture while others can make em too watery or they don't make it with the right proportions. The more you customize it the harder time some employees seem to have making it right unless you tell them EXACTLY how to make it. I will say they all are usually super friendly and give the place a warm vibe and more often than not my order is made properly/correctly. Also if you download the app there's usually a first time discount (ie $2 off your order) and you can get points for each order moving forward. Lastly just fyi: this location now also accepts EBT
